Dimitris Kechagias Review: [review top="1"] [item value="10"] Nora En Pure - Senses of Comfort[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Melodic house queen Nora En Pure returns to Enormous Tunes with a brand-new gem that captures the essence of summer and beyond — “Senses of Comfort.” Uplifting, heartfelt, and driven by an infectious piano melody, this track is a shimmering reminder of the emotional power of electronic music done right. “Senses of Comfort” opens with a meticulously crafted piano riff that sets an emotive tone, layered over a warm sub-bass that provides depth without overwhelming the delicate melodies. The track’s production showcases Nora’s expertise in sound design, utilizing lush pads and atmospheric textures that create a spatial depth, enhancing the immersive listening experience. The percussive elements are clean and crisp, with tight hi-hats and a subtle shuffle that injects groove into the 126 BPM framework. The kick drum is punchy yet rounded, perfectly balanced to sit comfortably within the mix, providing a steady pulse without overpowering the melodic elements. Nora employs sidechain compression subtly, allowing the piano and synths to breathe dynamically with the beat, creating a cohesive ebb and flow that’s both hypnotic and uplifting. The track’s arrangement is thoughtfully structured, with gradual builds and breakdowns that maintain listener engagement without resorting to over-the-top drops. Techno infusions are apparent through the use of driving basslines and synthesized arpeggios that add an energetic undercurrent, while maintaining the melodic house foundation. The sonic soundscapes are enriched with reverb and delay effects, carefully modulated to avoid muddiness, ensuring each element retains its clarity and presence. From start to finish, "Senses of Comfort" exemplifies Nora En Pure’s refined production techniques, blending melodic intricacy with rhythmic precision to create a track that’s both fresh and timeless — undeniably Nora. #PureGold Love IT [/content]

‚Let there be house‘– means more than 4 words! It stands for one of the most legendary events in the heart of the Rhein-Main-Region. Simon Fava knows how to mix on the turntables at the ‘Midnight Circus’ in Darmstadt’s Orange Club, guaranteeing unforgettable moments on the dance floor, together with his renowned dj colleagues such as Tom Wax, Ian Oliver or Dabruck & Klein. Inspiring vocals, fresh beats and impulsive rhythms are Simon Fava’s ingredients for an exciting new set.
Born in the near of Frankfurt, Simon loves to play in its well-known clubs like the Velvet, 101, Odeon and the Monza and has a fable for balearic beats freshly imported from Ibiza. Big City Beats notice that and as a result Simon Fava’s sets were played on this famous radio show.
In 2012, Simon Fava produced ‘Adir Adirim’ and signed his first contract with the major label SUPERSTAR RECORDS. The breakthrough starts with the first releases at TIGER RECORDS in 2014. His tracks were highly supported by famous Djs, take place at the official World Soccer Cup compilation, is shown in television and is a hymn of the “Matinée” party at Island Ibiza.
The following two singles, ‘Circo Loco’ and ‘Colobiana’ made it to the top of the international dance charts as well. In 2016, Simon Fava signed his contract with KONTOR RECORDS and ARMADA Music after having produced the summer anthem ‘La Candela Viva ft. Toto la Momposina’
In 2017 Simon joins the premiere league of producers with signin´at the world best electronic dance label SPINNIN´RECORDS. He starts with collaboration with amazing Gregor Salto and he produced the NO. 1 summer hit MAGALENHA feat. SERGIO MENDES in 2017. For 14 weeks at the top of the Beatport charts and for a long period the most played track of famous DJs and radio shows measured by 1001 Tracklists!
With the release of Magalenha his sounds become an integral part in sets of artists like Hardwell, Fatboy Slim, Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano, Diplo, Avicii, Breathe Carolina, Dannic, Michael Calfan, Fedde Le Grand, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Blasterjaxx, Sam Feldt, David Guetta, Afrojack, Bob Sinclar, NERVO, Joe Stone, Pep & Rash, Benny Benassi, Daddy's Groove, Robbie Rivera, Feenixpawl, Nicola Fasano and many more…
In 2018, Simon strikes back with the next latin house banger LA GOTA FRIA with FEDERICO SCAVO at Enourmes Tunes, which was a huge success beside TAGOMAGO which was the penultimate release at legendary SOSUMI records of Kryder. In 2019, Simon continues with huge releases at new No. 1 House Label Tactical Records and – of course – again on famous Enormous Tunes.
While he let off steam with lots of groovy Latin house vibes on Enormous Tunes and Tactical Records in 2019, he will be back in 2020 with an extensive range of the finest electronic house music. Underground techhouse beats, meet Ibiza House, up to commercial tracks like SWAY (Mucho Mambo), which in 2020 will bring various top 10 chart positions worldwide in the dance genre. In addition to the very successful productions, this year he will become an integral part of the KONTOR RECORDS DJ DELIVERY SERVICE and convince a thousand-fold audience with his beats. The crowning glory of the year is a Techhouse remix of "La Candela Viva", which was released in 2016, on the German number 1 dance label.
The appearances in the largest streaming format of the German DJ scene were the starting shot for an extremely successful year 2021. With BAILAR RIDDIM, VAGABUNDOS and CUBAN RIDDIM, Simon is listed on all major playlists worldwide. BAILAR RIDDIM is one of the summer hits of 2021 and reaches number 1 in the dance charts in several countries. More than 3 MILLION streams this year on Spotify alone underline the success. Simon Fava releases the Ibiza anthem "Wanna Show you" on KONTOR and brings the next big club house beat onto the market with "Take it Down".
The world dances to the sound of Simon Fava. With currently over 300,000 MONTHLY FANS on SPOTIFY, tens of million streaming minutes a year, millions of clicks on YouTube and thousands of followers on his social channels, Simon is now part of the international house music family and celebrates this as Resident DJ of the IBIZA F *** ISLAND Tour & the events of Kontor Records.
Dimitris: Your biggest music career achievements in 2021:
Simon Fava: Bailar Riddim was a worldwide summer hit with millions of streams and listed on top in a lot of dance charts. Also I founded and started with my own record label!
Dimitris: 2021 was the second year with Covid-19 worldwide pandemic! In what ways has affected you (a)as an artist in your art and profession & (b)any obstacles or opportunities you may discover during this year because of Covid-19
Simon Fava: I hardly had any gigs, but I used the time to produce. That was very successful and I also had more time for the family.
Dimitris: Do you believe that vaccines against Covid-19 should be mandatory? Do you agree with the Covid pass system that has been used widely in clubs and festivals
Simon Fava: That is difficult to answer. I'm a DJ and music producer and not a medical professional. I definitely wish that we can celebrate together again.
Dimitris: Are you satisfied from the financial aid that firstly the arts & culture sector including music industry got from your government and secondly yourself as an artist in order to recoup some of the losses caused from the pandemic?
Simon Fava: While I trust the medical professionals, I´m more disappointed by the politics. Unfortunately, many artists from our branch received no really support and were simply forgotten ...
Dimitris: Do you feel that the pandemic has raised or decreased the artistic value and integrity of the electronic dance music musicians including DJs and producers?
Simon Fava: The artists who only live from live performances naturally had a harder time than producers who were also able to offer content in the pandemic
Dimitris: During this year many clubs were closed and festivals canceled. What is your opinion about the trend to move electronic dance music activity solely online with DJ set streamed or with virtual festivals? Can ever virtual replace the physical human contact?
Simon Fava: NO - NEVER!

He's the one in our team who manages to make music on a very spiritual level.
His tracks are always filled with high energy and gorgeous melodic atmospheres.
His latest jam takes a very deep and modern new-age-dance direction.
The fresh sounding 80s beat patterns combined with his almost signature analogue arpeggio sounds take us way back into the glory days of hair metal and FM synthesizers.
BRING YOU IN CLOSE is what we call an innovative dance track that doesn't cut on the melodic end and isn't afraid in using some vocals to complete a stunning masterpiece.
A great original deserved a great remix as well, and so we got our boy DANIEL PORTMAN on board to create a powerful club mix. Daniel Portman's latest original track "Vulnerable" gets all kind of big player support lately and is all over the viral Spotify charts, no wonder he came up with another smashing remix that carries the elements from the original but also evolves the track to become a straight club track without any stylistic restrictions.
If you're a Beatport customer, make sure to also check out the DANIEL PORTMAN DUB, which is gonna be the answer to your DJ prayers.

[item value="10"]Paul Richmond - Bring You In Close [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Enormous Tunes is definitely one of the most respected and highly valuable record labels with magnificent music so far. Paul Richmond service an exceptional piece of memorable melodic deep house with strong electronic synths and travelling sexy atmosphere with warm piano melodies and very erotic female vocal hook that seems to work perfectly for mainstream audiences. The one and only Daniel Portman turns the track into an underground gem packed with techy grooves, punchy basslines, electronic synths and surprising arrangement that will keep you going for sure and will be pretty impossible to resist its classy sounds and infectious rhythm! So sexy sounds on both tracks! #PureGold Love IT[/content]
Following a non-stop summer tour, playing and headlining some of the world’s most prominent festivals, NORA EN PURE returns with her latest musical offering in the shape of her 4-track POLYNESIA EP.
Opening with the title track, POLYNESIA is a touching instrumental piece that cascades with piano chords and airy synths across a dream-like soundscape.
HARVESTING takes a clubbier direction, combining melancholic piano chords and dramatic synths with a punchy bassline, as well as some groovy beat patterns.
RIVERWARDS STREAM has been making an impact in her live performances with its pristine instrumental arrangement and soaring vocal piece.
Turning up the heat with LIONESS, Nora En Pure closes the EP with an up-tempo production that demands attention with a deep bassline and untamed textures.

[item value="10"]Nora En Pure - Polynesia EP[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]The awesome Nora En Pure is true goddess of deep melodic house and her newest Polynesia EP showcases her abilities to bring the finest sounds around. Polynesia is a very sweet warm deep house beauty with melancholic synths, moody strings and very cool breakdown with xylophone melodies and piano chords to create that relaxing tropical atmosphere with romantic exotic references. Harvesting starts with cool breaks style intro and slowly builds into her usual deep groovy house sound with travelling soundscapes and superb breakdown with sad piano chords and big cinematic strings that build tension and highlight its delicate sonic design. Riverwards Stream has an upfront feel with cool vocal samples, romantic smooth creamy piano melodies upon the running rolling groove. The breakdown allows the playful little synthy hook to come and then the track continues its wonderful journey. Lioness lastly is very strong production with xylophone, harps, pianos, soaring vocal samples, superb vintage sound effects and touching synthy riffs creating the perfect calming sonic soundscape that could be part of a soundtrack for tv series or even film. 4 beauties in one package! #PureGold Love IT[/content]
Earlier this year Native Instruments and Enormous Tunes launched a remix contest for one of NORA EN PURE's most significant tracks called TRAILBLAZER.
We received an incredible number of over 300 remixes for consideration.
Artists from all over the world sent in their interpretation of the track and after a long and hard way of selection, NORA EN PURE and ETR picked some finalists and the winning remix by DEEZDLUX.
We also invited German deep house producer MARTIN WASLEWSKI to try on a remix.
He agreed and did this epic remake filled with lots of groovy percussions and melodic build-ups.
Just the way we like it.

[item value="10"]Nora En Pure - Trailblazer (The Remixes)[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Nora En Pure slowly has manage to build her reputation as the undisputed queen of melodic deep house and her track Trailblazer is an example of her abilities to produce high class anthems. The Remixes are produced with so much love that is hard to resist. The winning one by Deezdlux moves within the deep melodic progressive house territory focusing on the stunning piano chords creating superb melodic pulsating grooves and breakdown with vinyl cracks and big trumpet riffs while the climax is upfront and luscious. Definitely deserves to be the winner. Martin adds extra tribal grooves and thumping basslines with soaring synths themes and the pleasant piano chords creating a nice floating breakdown leading to the travelling groovy Ibiza flavoured climax. Lastly Local Dialect is focusing on the deepness of the track and the hypnotic smooth synthy riffs while the driving bassline carry the bass riders away. The main piano hook remains at the background underrated delivering something extra classy. #PureGold Love IT[/content]

[item value="10"]Simon Fava & Federico Scavo - La Gota Fria[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]When the upcoming DJ & producer Simon Fava collaborates with the Italian legend Federico Scavo then the result can only be La Gota Fria. If you adore quality tech house grooves with stomping drums and chunky latin style basslines then La Gota Fria is the track you are looking for and will put fire on any place that will be played clubs, festivals, living rooms and gyms. The vocal is absolutely magnificent and easily will put a big wide smile on your face so get ready to let the inhibitions go and dance like there is no tomorrow. The Latin Mix is an excellent additional version that focuses on the Latin elements of the single with focus on the infectious drums, smooth more minimal bassline, accordions and other live like instruments added along with clapping to create the party atmosphere you look to inject on any house DJ set this summer and beyond. What is more there is chance to provide later the massive Dual Beat remix that is more upfront, banging with tougher drums, punchy basslines and louder drop perfect for mainstage sets to please the big room house followers. Overall is another must have item for any Latin house infused DJ set. #PureGold Love IT [/content]
Flux House Anthems Only with Dimitri is streamed exclusively in the EDM stream of 1mix radio and this a very strong longer edition that will please your ears and you will dance along straight away.
